The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2750 advisory.

  - In Jp2Image::readMetadata() in jp2image.cpp in Exiv2 0.27.2, an input file can result in an infinite loop     and hang, with high CPU consumption. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial     of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2019-20421)

  - Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. A heap buffer overflow was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The heap overflow     is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially     exploit the vulnerability to gain code execution, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a     crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when _writing_ the metadata, which is a less     frequently used Exiv2 operation than _reading_ the metadata. For example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2     command-line application, you need to add an extra command-line argument such as `insert`. The bug is     fixed in version v0.27.4. (CVE-2021-29457)

  - Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and     ICC image metadata. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. Exiv2 is a     command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image     files. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file.
    An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing Exiv2, if     they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered     when writing the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. For     example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line application, you need to add an extra command-line     argument such as `insert`. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4. Please see our security policy for     information about Exiv2 security. (CVE-2021-29473)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2021-29457. Reason: This candidate is a     duplicate of CVE-2021-29457. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2021-29457 instead of this     candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental     usage. (CVE-2021-31291)

  - An integer overflow in CrwMap::encode0x1810 of Exiv2 0.27.3 allows attackers to trigger a heap-based     buffer overflow and cause a denial of service (DOS) via crafted metadata. (CVE-2021-31292)

  - A flaw was found in Exiv2 in versions before and including 0.27.4-RC1. Improper input validation of the     rawData.size property in Jp2Image::readMetadata() in jp2image.cpp can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow     via a crafted JPG image containing malicious EXIF data. (CVE-2021-3482)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
